Come grow with us
Join the teachers, aides, and caregivers behind nine Gold-rated schools, and more than 400 colleagues across the CAO family.
Roles we hire for
Assistant Teacher (full-year)
Support lead teachers in the classroom: story time, activities, meals, and the hundred small moments in between. This is the year-round schedule, including summers. A good first step into early childhood education, and we will train you.
Assistant Teacher (part-year)
The same classroom work as the full-year role, on the school-year calendar. A good first step into early childhood education, and we will train you.
Teacher
Lead a classroom of your own. Job-specific credentials required: degrees in Early Childhood Education or related fields.
Grow while you work
- Paid training toward your CDA credential, plus First Aid, CPR, child guidance, and infant care certifications.
